Question #1: On the news there has been outrage over the price of Epipens, a medication
needed for allergic reactions to food and bee stings. The price of a two-pack of Epipens has
risen from $100 to $600. The number of Epipens purchased fell from 1000 to 400. At the
current time, there are no substitutes for this drug
Will this increase in price cause a decrease in demand or a decrease in quantity demanded?
Illustrate your answer graphically (either by showing a movement along the demand curve or
by shifting the demand curve).
The diagram to the right illustrates a hypothetical demand curve representing the
relationship between price (in dollars per unit) and quantity (in 1,000s of units per
unit of time).

- draw a market demand for a good that has many substitutes. You will recall that price elasticity of demand for a particular good or service is influenced by various factors, including whether the good or service under consideration has substitutes. Is this demand price elastic or inelastic? Why do you think this? Next draw a market demand for a good that has few substitutes. Is this demand price elastic or inelastic and why do you think this? With these two demand curves in mind, please answer the following questions: Discuss a real world example of each and explain why you think they are good examples of the two types of market demand. Why? If you wanted to increase revenue, which demand curve would you rather face as a company? Why? If the demand curves were linear, how would you modify your answer to the question above?

- Exercise 1: Shifts in the Demand Curve. In recent years, sales of music CDs have decreased as many consumers have elected to download individual tracks of music directly into their playing devices. Of course, the cost to download a single track is less than the cost of a CD. The demand for music CDs is shown in the demand schedule as D1. Imagine that as a result of pressure from the music industry, music downloads are outlawed, and the only way to purchase music is to buy a music CD. Demand for CDs increases and is now shown in the demand schedule as D2. Using the data presented in the Demand Schedule for CDs, graph the demand curves D1 and D2 in the chart below. Refer to the chart you have drawn and answer the following questions: 1. When CDs sell for $18, compare the quantity demanded for CDs at demand levels D1 and D2. 2. Explain why more customers are now willing to purchase CDs for the same price. 3.
